Damn after reading the comments I'm worried -- everyone is a mental wreck. If you don't like the post keep moving. Don't waste energy being negative.

The people hating on it existing in a negative outlook. If they just did what you describe they'd literally barely interact with anything.

I've often seen people stating that life is not fair to them and that the odds are stacked against them. I've never been one to say that life is fair. If you accept life is not fair and work within the true confines of life you will do better than to simply complain that life has nothing to offer. You are acting as though people are truly hopeless, with no control over themselves. At any point you can do something to move towards peace and happiness. Again, you will not get there immediately, it may not be exactly as you thought. But you can incrementally make things better. On average this approach will lead to a better life than doubting change and dismissing any hint of optimism. Even the most broken down person can have a change of heart if they are truly ready.

More just commenting on the fact that the issue isn't the post offending people, it's their attitude.

Negative energy is the only energy we have left after being put through the wringer of this life we were born into...

Five years ago I would have fully agreed. I’ve spent many days wondering “why me” and staring at the ceiling. I don’t know your circumstances and don’t mean to down play them. But I think we always have the ability to make our situation better. Not always perfect, not always ideal, but better.

I don’t mean to dismiss your feelings, but at the same point I would like to offer a glimmer of light. Some people need that. If you can’t resonate with that, I’m sorry. I wish you the best and eventual peace and prosperity.

I was mostly just being sarcastic, but yeah the last few years have been a complete shitshow making it difficult to keep a positive outlook.

Then you don't really want to be motivated. You want excuses.

Excuses and motivation are in opposition to each other.
